How to remove write protect USB flash drive?

I'm having problem with my new usb flash drive...i can't transfer files to it, it says the drive was write-protected but i can't see any write-protect button to turn it off...can you tell me how can i turn off the write protect mode?

Well Ideally the Make & Model of the Thumb Drive would be useful

But if there is no Switch on the drive you need to install the software that comes with it. This may be on a External CD or something similar or it could be on the USB Stick and you need to install the software before using the +USB Stick.

If it is on the USB Device it should try to load when you plug in the USB Device.
